 The boldness and frequency of bur glsries in this city mas developed a general uneasiness anl fear amounting in some cases almost to q panic. Mir. Perry of South Wind St., went to lodge the other evening, and when he return ed he found his wife and children Grugged by chlorofcrm. and his money conspicuous only by its absence. The police force Is scsndalously inadequate to its needs.
 A number of ladies in this vicinity have taken up the cudgels In behalf Of Milo h. Dakid, and are making things lively. Their defense of this gentle man consists ID the argument that he has only done what all working pOliu- cians are known to do, and that hIs ex- pulsiOn by the senate ought to be fol- lowed by a general house cleaning. These are vital questions, and It IS cheering to find women awake to such issues.
 Brick Pomsroy" is again pounding away in the Democrat. NO one could ever mistake this gentlemaB's use Of the English language, and fl sometimes hls matter IS little to vigorous, and lack ing in refinement, those who know him will always smIie and recall Dickens "BownthOrn" tae thunderer aud threat euer, IA man absolutely without guile, and uB sweet and harmless gs new m!lk, Mir. PomerJy has the same fond ness for children that distinguished the imylacable enemy of SIr Leicester Dedlock, and the other day took H whole orphan asylum to the cIrcIs.

English cspI- talists have contracted to complete the job, S2,00OOUO, bEving already been raised, This tunnel will save 2iU miles between Denver and Salt Lake City besides opening up Q number of vslua ble mines. Having succeeded in this colossal undertaking, Brick" has re- turned to the Empire state to make David E. Hill president. At least that IS what he says.
 It is reported that Agnes Booth d. ways iaints in dead earnest whenever a stage swoOn is necessary. Sometimes these spells os uncOnsciOusness are very dangerous and prolonged. Her friends and she has legions of them-Rre sl- ways distressed when she IS cast for piece containing the falling business.
 The Worth manifesto m reference to the unfashionableness of tapering waists. IS stirring things up at home and abroad. When II Is 10 longer stylish to cramp the liver. and pArslyze the heart, and box-plait the ribs, there may be a few more healthy women in the world A fine figure Is not .O bo despised, and It ought to be every voman'= pride tO make herself as attractive Rs possible. But Worth is right about plump waists. They are beautiful, and skinny waists are not.
 The great Worth has also brought out a new mantle called The Worth Grena- diur. This pretty wrap k nearly straight l snd trimmed with light jst pendants. l They ere iet:ed loosely to the should | CTS, and handsome lace k drGpe1 down | the front, and carried round to the back | to simulate a hood.

 The receptions of Miss LIberty' are l crowded every day. and there IS to be moonlight excursion of lovers to do her | honor next week. A walk over the | Brooklyn Bridge IS a thorough inspirs ton at tkiI season.
